Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 841 The Angry Emperor 841
In the Dahua Empire, in the Imperial City of the Imperial Capital, Zhao Kai lost his temper in his room. He had never felt so uncomfortable, and had never been so depressed.

For such a long time in the past, every progress of the Dahua Empire could not give him a sense of accomplishment, but instead made him fall more and more into fear.

The tax revenue of Fengjiang City is gradually increasing, and the income brought by a city or half a city has far exceeded the sum of the income of more than a dozen cities in the Dahua Empire.

Originally, everyone was very happy, because these real money will become the cornerstone of the development and growth of the Dahua Empire.

But whenever he thinks that the Tang Empire has more and more cities like this, Zhao Kai has a feeling of restless sleep and food.

The Great China Empire has built two new large textile factories today, but the Great Tang Empire has moved a similar large textile factory to Chu State today—the gap is not narrowing, but constantly expanding.

Now even the Chu State is competing with the Dahua Empire for the light industry economy, and the troubled Dahua Empire has to frequently reduce the price of its products to compete with countries like Chu Kingdom Lions for a little export share.

Because of the shipping costs, Dahua Empire's light industrial exports are actually not very competitive: the countries on the western continent have some of their own industrial foundations, and the technology of Dahua Empire seems to be developing relatively slowly there.

Moreover, with the addition of cross-sea freight, Dahua Empire's products have little competitiveness in the Western Continent: the things it can sell to the Western Continent are nothing more than some specialty products.

For example, Pan Yiping's business is a special dried fruit product of the Dahua Empire, and he sells some tea and the like.

"Yes!" A waiter immediately went to convey His Majesty's will, and the rest of the people were still picking up the scattered debris on the ground.

On the other hand, the Great China Empire should try its best to win over some neighboring countries, so as to avoid a real war on two fronts: under balance, Chu Muzhou believes that it is the lowest-cost solution to make a good relationship with the Great Tang Empire.

With the support of this theory, the three provinces and six ministries of the Great China Empire all believed that by maintaining a close cooperative relationship with Tang as much as possible and meeting most of Tang's requirements, they could avoid a complete break with Tang in a short period of time.

Because there is the shadow of the Tang Empire behind Qin and Shu, it is obviously not easy to make friends with Qin and Shu in turn-because if the relationship with Tang is tense, these countries will easily collapse. To the stronger side.

The Great China Empire's restraint on the Qin State is getting weaker and weaker, and it has even reached a worrying point: if it weren't for the Great China Empire and its geographical advantages in transportation, then the Qin State might really go directly to become the Tang State. Dog legs.

He likes the feeling of watching others crawling under his feet, and the feeling of being able to step on other people's heads as long as he stretches out his feet.

Therefore, the Great China Empire must guard against the unfavorable situation of war on both sides, and at the same time make a series of diplomatic efforts to avoid such a situation from happening.

Recalling every detail of what happened in the court just now, the anger that Zhao Kai just vented on the court lady surged up again.

Even, if this game is understood, the Great China Empire can consider annexing Qin and Shu with the support of the Great Tang Empire in the future, so as to reduce the trade cost of the Great Tang Empire.

In order to fully cooperate with the Tang State, the Dahua Empire must lower its stance, and even put itself in the position of a de facto slave state.

"Also, your opinion matters! Your father just hasn't realized it yet." After blowing on the ring, satisfied with the effect of his own wiping, the young man continued.

A few hours ago in the court hall, Prime Minister Chu Muzhou and Minister of War Shen Chuan both expressed their concerns about the situation.

This time, the reason for Zhao Kai's irritability was because he heard that Qin Guo asked Tang Guo to buy a batch of arms, and even bought a whole production line of shells.

The Dahua Empire will be attacked from both sides by the Tang Army and the Qin Army this time, and the Dahua Army will not be able to face such a situation.

The Qin State, which has always relied on the Great Hua Empire for arms and weapons, has now become a small Tang State. Whether it is the soldiers' weapons and equipment or the command system, they are frantically copying the Tang Army.

Let the benefits that can be made be given up, develop in a low-key manner, and earn money to run their own country honestly, so that the Tang Empire thinks that the Dahua Empire has no threat.

In fact, Zhao Kai still has a bit of a brain to become the emperor of an empire.It's just that he has been in a high position for many years, and for a while he is not quite used to the state of "some people he can't afford to mess with".

"Bring the prince here!" Seeing the waiter crawling under his feet to clean up the house, Zhao Kai seemed to have found some emperor feeling again.

Being run over by a circle of former vassal states like this, the Dahua Empire has lost all its face.How could Zhao Kai, who has always put face the most seriously, not get angry?

……

Zhao Kai abandoned Feng Kezhi for the sake of imperial power, so he naturally had to rely on the imperial family to maintain his centralized power. The newly appointed Zhao Jie and Zhao Chen were all his trusted royal family members.

Recently, Zhao Kai has always had inexplicable evil fires, so he began to find some weak maids to vent... It is becoming more and more difficult for him to suppress his impulse, like a wild beast.

This is the simplest way of misfortune, that is, the legendary dead friends never die.Anyway, as long as the Tang Empire is not against the Dahua Empire, it doesn't matter who he hits.

But these were far from enough for the courtiers. What they hoped was that Zhao Kai would make greater concessions, and even express the friendly attitude of the Dahua Empire towards the Tang Empire in the name of the royal family of the Dahua Empire.

Therefore, he also felt that the current situation should be changed, at least one side of the trouble should be solved.

So the fierce court debate started again, and the final result was that Zhao Kai made a little concession, lowered some transit tariffs, and at the same time expressed his attitude that the Dahua Empire was willing to take over some industries that the Tang Empire had no longer looked down upon. .

It's a pity that this plan was strongly opposed by Emperor Zhao Kai before it was implemented: he could not tolerate that the Dahua Empire changed from the overlord of the Eastern Continent to a follower of the Tang Empire in his hands.

So he can only call some people he thinks reliable to discuss with himself to see if there is any better way to solve the crisis facing the Dahua Empire this time.

In addition, the Dahua Empire will try its best to encourage the confrontation between the Tang Empire and the Western Continent: Only by advocating "recapturing Bunas" in public opinion can the Tang Empire focus its attention on the west.

But there is one biggest problem with this plan - Zhao Kai, the emperor of the Great China Empire!His Majesty the Emperor's temper is really not suitable for being humble...

"Get out!" Zhao Kai yelled, making the guards back out.But before these people closed the door again, he ordered again: "Come here, clean up the things on the ground!"

Therefore, most of the light industrial products of the Dahua Empire can only be sold to Shu and Qin.However, with the economic development of these two countries, the export ability of Dahua Empire's products has become worse and worse.

They are not Zhao Kai's concubines, but court ladies... After all, it is an empire, so there are still some etiquette that must be considered.It is impossible for two concubines in the harem to serve the emperor at the same time, that is the rule.

With a slap on the table, he even felt that the two naked women beside him were not so charming anymore.So he waved his hands irritably, and the two women left Zhao Kai's bedroom with their clothes in their arms.

On the one hand, the army hopes to build a more complex and expensive border defense line, at least to resist Tang's attack and buy time for the follow-up mobilization of more troops.

This is a bit difficult, how could Zhao Kai be willing to get close to Tang Mo?He had scolded Tang Mo more than once in court before, and now he used his face to stick Tang Mo's ass, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of the world?

"You have won the favor of Lord Nangong, and you are the prince who advocates good relations with the Tang Empire. Soon, some ministers will find that you are the hope of this empire." He raised his head: "If you are not elected, why not choose you?" Do you want to choose another emperor who is as strong as your father and continue to fight against them?"

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry... because in the end, he will find that you are the future of the Dahua Empire." The young man comforted Zhao Yu without raising his head, fiddling with the dandelion ring on his finger.

He grabbed a teacup casually, looked at it and found that it was a set of expensive top-level porcelain imported from the Tang Empire that he liked very much, gritted his teeth and put it down again.

Those courtiers who only know how to eat inside and outside are unreliable. Generals Feng Kezhi, Qian Jinhang and others have already verified this view.

After venting for a while, he finally returned to his senses, and felt that if he was really pinched by Qin and Tang, the Dahua Empire would really be in jeopardy as the courtiers said.

"Your Highness! Your Majesty has just invited the prince into the palace to discuss matters." Soon, a court lady spread the news out of the palace, and someone sent the news directly to the prince Zhao Yu.

"My emperor's father should trust that bastard Zhao Ji more after all." Zhao Yu waved his hand to get the messenger to step back, then turned his head and sneered at a young confidant, "Is he not even willing to listen to him when he asks for advice?" Listen to my opinion?"

They worried that when both Qin and Tang began to be unwilling to pay the border fees for supplies, a new war might break out.

But this made him feel aggrieved, and he simply grabbed another cheaper thing, and dropped it directly on the ground, which immediately shocked the guards outside the door to rush in.

Obviously, his own son, the heir of the future empire, his own son Zhao Ji, is a very good candidate.

"What you said makes sense!" Zhao Yu felt that this statement really suited his appetite, and he also felt that he was more suitable to inherit the throne than Zhao Ji.

After all, he is still the one!He thought complacently in his heart, then restrained the smile on his face, and looked at his mastermind: "Then how do you think... how can we show our feelings to the officials?"

"Don't worry! Your Highness... We've taken care of everything for you..." The young man stood up and walked to Zhao Yu's side: "Just wait for the good news."

Fool, no need to think.He looked at Zhao Yu and thought so.
